Monday, February 3, 2020Tepper Quad, PNC Foundation Rooms
4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Media, politicians, and the courts portray college campuses as divided over diversity and affirmative action. But what do students and faculty think? We deploy a novel technique to elicit honest opinions. We find far more consensus than division over how race and gender should play into undergraduate admissions and faculty recruitment decisions.
